Out-Beam, silver grey, mains halogen 150w, up and down light, IP44

Designer style contemporary wall mounted up down light.The up light uses a projector lens to create a very narrow beam of light to stream up the wall, the lower down light has a wide beam distribution. This creates a unique and stunning light effect. Mains power supply and a 150w Max quartz halogen lamp which produces 2,300 Lumen's of warm white light and has a lifer expectancy of around 2,000 hours. Pyramid style enclosure with smooth clean lines for easy cleaning and anti glare. Can be linked to a motion sensor or photocell.

Installation

Care must be taken when installing exterior lighting products especially those that
are ground mounted. All the products are sold and tested fit for purpose and the
IP rating is set according to the design and purpose of the luminaire, more details
on IP ratings can be found under design ideas section. The weakest point is generally
the installation of the product where adequate drainage has not been made for ground
buried lights or poor cable joints have been made which are not 100% water tight
and will allow for water penetration. There are a number of waterproof enclosures
available on this site along with heat shrink cable joint kits and resin gel packs
to fill the junction boxes to make a watertight enclosure. Where possible try and
keep all joints and transformers above ground, however if this is not possible there
are potted burial kits available.

Lamp colour ( Kelvins )

Lamp colour is determined by the Kelvins and a lamp which is 2700 kelvin
is classed as warm white and sympathetic to skin tones and warm brickwork. A kelvin
of 6500k is in the blueish white spectrum and works well against a white background
and will appear brighter to the naked eye than the warm colour spectrum.

Light output ( Lumen's )

All lamps have a lumen number and the higher the lumen number the brighter the lamp,
however colour of the lamp (kelvins ) also comes in to play here as a whiter lamp
at 6,000 kelvins and above would always appear brighter to the naked eye than a warmer
colour lamp at the 2,700 kelvins light spectrum even if it has the same lumen output.
A halogen 150w R7 lamp that is used in a standard garden security flood light would
produce around 2,300 lumen's and a 26w compact fluorescent would produce around 1,800 lumen's. Placing lights closer to the item to be illuminated is a good way of
using a lower lumen lamp rather than trying to flood light a big area.

Environmental impact

Care should be taken for local wildlife, insects, and general lightpollution, this means the warmer colour spectrum ( 2, 700 kelvin ) does
not
interfere with insects and general
wildlife as much as the blue spectrum ( 4,000 kelvin and above ).
Cool white colours can disrupt insects and wildlife's normal
night time activity. This also applies to bats where a anti glare
light fitting works
better as well as reducing overall light pollution in the area.
